Dont think this is a normal 680i SLI! we can see from the pic,through we cant sure what is this but in the layout something changed. a PCIe X1 slot dispaaeared, Debug LED change its directions, Clear BIOS Jumper changed, and 4pin D connecter becide the memory slot also disappeared.

We dont know if Nvidia want to make a new 680i SLI mobo, but in this time of period (they are going to relaese 780i shortly!) ,this is really strange.

[updated]

hopefully this is a high performance version, as im sick of my dfi 680i. cant wait till 780i.

We finally got the mobo. but Justin, sorry to make you disapponted: the board is 780i SLI, but the chipset is only a 680i plus a BR04!

the chip in the lower part is BR04. it is notthing but a bridge chip to enable PCIe Gen2 for the mobo. The bigger one is a 680i.

here is the full layout, compare to a 680i SLI, only slight differences:
